Dreaming of the Workday
You wake up, wipe the drool from your cheek, grimace at the state of your breath after catching a whiff before turning over ready to go back to sleep. You're content in the full day's work you've just completed. Just in case, you check your phone and see that it's 7 AM. You slowly realise that your sub-conscious hates you. Rather than the literally endless dream-scapes your psyche can provide for you, your idiot brain chose to play out the work day ahead. The day you're about to go and experience all over again, but this time, for realsies.

The Perks of Being a Theatre Kid
A theatre kid is defined as anyone involved in a high school production; this includes stage crew, costumes, techies and the actors. They are probably the most accepting group in the school and the easiest to be friends with. Yes, we are weird, but we are a cool weird that only us theatre kids understand. Not only are they they coolest, nicest group of kids in the school, but they are the smartest, brightest, and most creative individuals. Here are some of the amazing reasons as to why it's so great to be a drama nerd, in no particular order:

The Dos and Do Nots of Handing Out Résumés
There are 3 steps. Step 1: Preparation I believe I am speaking for most of my generation when I say we have all been there, the dreaded day where you print off 10+ résumés and have a list in hand of places to apply, you put on a nice outfit, and you hit the pavement.

The Head of Household Filing Status — Some Interesting Facts that Are Oftentimes Overlooked
For an unmarried taxpayer, filing Head of Household (HOH) can have substantial financial benefits over filing as a single status taxpayer. In filing as Head of Household, one enjoys lower tax rates and a larger Standard Deduction. So if you are unmarried at the end of the tax year, you may consider filing your taxes using the favorable Head of Household (HOH) filing status, if two basic conditions are met.

Teaching Literature: Classics or Fantasy?
I am relatively new to teaching, (substitute teacher at all levels for two years, sixth-grade English for another two, and most recently Senior AP literature/Honors tenth grade English) but one thing I've heard far more than I'd like to is that kids "just don't like to read." I hold a firm belief that children who express this sentiment do so because they simply haven't found their genre. Genre is elusive in a sense because we open one door only to step into a room filled with more doors. Anyone who has been asked to explain what kind of music, writing, or art they create has faced this dilemma in trying to put into words just what their art is most like. It sends them on a walking tour through some doors, peeping into others only to back out and choose another. It is confusing and often overwhelming, but possibly more interesting, is it is expansive. The door I most often open is fantasy.

Why Buy Handmade
Buying handmade products is a great idea. Here's why. 1. Handmade products are made with love, care, and attention. Handmade business owners put a lot of work into their products. They pay close attention to details because they want their customers to love their products. When you buy a handmade product, you can rest assured that the maker put their best foot forward because they are passionate about what they do. You will be receiving a high-quality product that was made with customer satisfaction in mind. Human beings put a lot more care into what they make than machines do, and this care shows in the product you receive.

Country Teacher in an Alt-Urban School
I grew up in a small town, in an even smaller part of said town. My days consisted of reading, teaching myself to use the computer, and watching Jeopardy with my family at dinner. My school was predominantly white, lower-middle class, "rednecks" with the occasional goth or rich kid thrown in for fun. The minority of my school population was less than my graduating class of 150 out of 600. I grew up around white people, I hung out with white people, and I was forbidden to date anyone other than a white male. Then came college.
